Hello Chang’an

Chapter 24: Lure the snake out of its hole

"The mystery in the letter lies in this poem." Chang Sui Ning said: "Although the poem does not mention the three characters of Shangyuan Festival, it is actually a Shangyuan Fu, and the first three lines of the poem contain the words 'moon', 'moon', 'moon', 'moon', 'moon', The three characters 'bridge' and 'hui'—"

The two exchanged poems and letters many times. Others may not be able to see it, but Ah Li must have seen the invitation.

Guanshi Bai and Chang Sui An could think of tracing A Li's acquaintances, and also checked Zhou Ding's letters. They were quite careful, but they were not proficient in poetry after all, so it was normal not to see any clues. This is probably the intention of the person who wrote the letter.

What he wants is that Ah Li can understand it but others cannot.

Changsui An took the letter from her sister, read it again and again, and was shocked and angry: "Sure enough! It's so true!"

After saying that, he handed it to Chang Kuo again: "Dad, look!"

Chang Kuo took it, but did not take a closer look. His face had already darkened: "I did this in advance on the letter to prevent him from being traced and suspected later... From this point of view, Zhou Ding seemed to have planned it in advance. "

It’s said that it was planned in advance, but it shouldn’t be too early—

Chang Suining had a look of thought in his eyes.

Compared with the poems in the previous letter, the Shangyuan Fu was much "rougher" and the calligraphy was not very skillful. It seemed like a temporary decision to invite Ah Li out...

Improvised?

While Chang Suining was thinking, Chang Kuo had already stood up and commanded in a deep voice: "Old Bai, take this man over quickly!"

"Dad, wait a minute." Chang Sui Ning said, "Don't try to scare the snake away yet—"

"What kind of snake is he? He's just a bed bug looking for death at most!" Chang Kuo was still frightened, angry and frightened: "My dad will chop this **** up with his own hands, so I can vent this bad breath on you!"

Chang Sui An Yueyue wanted to try but hesitated - obviously, he also wanted to chop it, but he didn't dare to take the food from his father's mouth.

"It's true that it's a bedbug, but the truth is still unclear at this time, and there is still one doubt." Chang Suining asked: "Dad, think about it, since this person has coaxed money from me one after another, he treats me as a He is regarded as a rare money tree, and from these letters, it can be seen that I have no conflicts with him, so why did he suddenly want to cut down the tree? "

Chang Kuo's expression condensed and his eyes changed: "Unless... someone promised him more money at once and gave him greater benefits?!"

Chang Suining nodded: "It's very possible."

Although Ah Li is pure and kind, she is not a fool, and she is just a girl in a boudoir. She has a gentle temperament and does not have too much money to embezzle. Especially when she knows that her brother disapproves of her association with Zhou Ding, she It's even worse to take too much money from the house and give it to the other party at once -

Zhou Ding must also know that the Chang family does not like the association of girls in the family with him, and this financial path will probably be cut off sooner or later - if someone offers a huge profit at this time, he will definitely be tempted.

"So...my sister is saying that this person may have been instigated by someone else?!" Chang Sui'an was shocked: "Who...would actually do this to my sister!"

Chang Suining: "Did I have any enemies in the past?"

"Of course not!" Chang Sui'an said without thinking: "My sister has a quiet temperament and a pure heart. Not to mention she has bad relations with others, and she has only a handful of people to interact with..."

As he spoke, his voice suddenly paused.

Seeing the change in his expression, Chang Suining asked: "But what did you think of?"

"Of course my sister is extremely good-looking... Ever since she went out to the city last year for a spring outing, she has been known as the most beautiful woman in the capital. It is inevitable that she will attract the envy and jealousy of others, but..." Chang Sui'an scratched his head: "But there is no way that she will attract the attention of others. It’s only right to kill someone!”

Chang Suining: "..."

She really thanked me.

She could only ask: "What about Dad? Has Dad offended anyone inside or outside the court—"

While Chang Kuo was thinking carefully, Chang Sui'an already said: "Even if you are my father's enemy, you should come after me! What kind of skill is it to attack a little lady!"

Chang Suining thought about it and felt that it made sense. The identity of Ah Li's orphan girl is not a secret. She is Chang Kuo's adopted daughter, not her biological child. This can be found out with a little inquiry.

Even if he is an enemy of the Chang family, he should not leave his own son alone and oppose a weak adopted daughter.

You can’t…

Thinking of a possibility, Chang Suining's eyes changed slightly.

Ordinarily it shouldn’t be…

"I can't even guess the reason now!" Chang Kuo said with a sharp knife to cut through the mess: "When the person behind it is found out, everything will naturally be clear!"

But in this case, just as Sui Ning said just now, don't act rashly to scare the snake away - this time, there is really a snake.

I'm afraid it's still a pretty big snake.

Chang Suining nodded and said: "Now the enemy is in the dark and we are in the dark. If we want to lure the snake out of the hole, we need Zhou Ding's help."

The girl's expression was calm and unchanged from beginning to end. Chang Kuo was in a daze for a moment before subconsciously asking: "What is Sui Ning's plan?"

This couldn't be asked about the little girl, but the little girl obviously doesn't look like the little girl she used to be.

The matter was unraveled from the beginning, and the clues became clear step by step... It was this little girl who led the way, leading them to think more deeply.

"This letter from eight or nine days ago contains words of greeting and invitation -" Chang Suining picked up the latest letter and said, "Then let Xi'er go and reply to the letter and tell me that I was ill a few days ago. , It has gotten better in the past few days, and we can meet him at the place agreed in the letter tomorrow."

Chang Sui'an was shocked and embarrassed: "Ning Ning...you still want to see him?"

"Yes, this can not only scare him, but also give him a try."

"But this person is hypocritical and insidious. If he..."

Chang Suining: "Don't worry, since I'm going to see you, I'll be fully prepared."

When Chang Sui'an felt uneasy, Chang Kuo nodded and said slowly, "I'll just listen to Sui Ning on this matter."

"..." Chang Sui'an clenched his fists and said, "Then I will take people to check this person's details!"

When he first learned that Zhou Ding was in contact with his sister, he asked Jian Tong to investigate, but only his identity, experience, and family background were investigated, which was not very detailed.

Now the suspicion of this person is so great that it is no longer the same thing - he has to check his ancestors for eight generations, his three meals a day, his whereabouts, and the color of his pants!

Seeing him leaving as soon as he said so, without staying for a moment, Chang Kuo shook his head: "This brat is still so impatient! Lao Bai, you go and keep an eye on him, don't let him cause trouble in his recklessness!"

Looking at the back of the young man leading people away, Chang Sui Ning sighed complicatedly in his heart.

In the past, the little calf who always stared at people with big eyes and looked naive, in the blink of an eye, turned into the elder brother who wanted to support and make decisions for her.

As Chang Sui'an and Guan Bai left one after another, Xi'er couldn't help but feel a little confused. He looked at the corner of the table hesitantly: "Girl, that maid..."

Is she still bumping into the corner of the table?

If you don't bump into each other, it will always feel impolite.

If you bump into it, the atmosphere is no longer there.

There will be an extra update today, see you at 6pm
